The city of Allen Engineering Department recently concluded the work on the bicycle shared lane program.

The program was funded by the Allen Community Development Corporation. The program involves installation of bicycle warning signage with “Share the Road” messaging and the placement of shared lane pavement markings along 12 lane miles of collector roadways.

With $50,000 in funding from the ACDC, portions of Rollins, Longwood, Comanche, Park Place, Fountain Gate, Sycamore, Roaring Springs, Collin, Ridgemont, and Cottonwood Bend roadways in Allen have been marked and signed.

Staff will continue planning efforts to determine additional roadways appropriate for the bicycle shared lane program to be completed in 2014.
